This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.


A mysterious character who appears in the "Time Gap" that serves as the stage for our story. He is the key to escaping from it. He is well-spoken and acts as if he sees through everything.

Powers and Techniques


Equipment

  • Clock-blade: Aeon's main weapon of choice, it has a special effect where the clock's glow will gradually change as the battle goes on. With no glow, he can make vertical slashes with huge range, with blue glow, he can fire a massive laser, with green glow, the clock's hands will extend outward and sweep across the field like an actual clock, and once the clock reaches the maximum charge and glows gold, he can stop time.

Notable Techniques

Fighting Style

Aeon’s large stopwatch transforms its two hands into blades that he uses for both a powerful charging slash combo and a swift stabbing combo. With his clock-blade and powerful magical abilities, Aeon proves to be a formidable opponent, capable of matching even the skills of warriors like Simon Belmont, Trevor Belmont, Shanoa, Death, and even Dracula himself.

Neutral Combo

Directional Combo

Jumping Attack

Nullifying Barrier

Aeon conjures a barrier from his clock that nullifies attacks from all directions. When successfully blocking an attack, Aeon's clock changes color, and its hands briefly point downward while it emits a glow. If Aeon completes a block without moving, he bows to his opponent, becoming invincible until the bow ends, after which he resumes his stance.

Nick of Time

Aeon performs a short slide toward his opponent and rises into a slash if he makes contact. If the opponent attempts to dodge, Aeon can home in like a magnet for another strike. This move also allows him to pass through long-range sub-weapons and many opponent projectiles, which can trigger a color change on his clock if successful.

Evading Move

Aeon performs an invincible backdash, leaving an afterimage and sometimes taunting his opponent.

Hour of Judgment

A unique effect occurs based on Aeon’s clock color, which frequently changes with blocks, health depletion, or over time.

Extension (Normal)

With no clock color active, Aeon extends his blade for a basic attack.

Suffer the March of Time (Time Beam)

When his clock glows blue, Aeon can unleash a powerful, unblockable blue beam by holding B, with a maximum combo hit of 45. In his alternate costume, the beam is red and resembles the Time Reaper’s. Aeon can also perform this attack midair, sitting cross-legged with his weapon on his lap.

The Clock Strikes Thrice (Three Clock Slices)

When the clock glows green, Aeon throws it into the air, extending the clock hands to cover a wide range with three slashes. This attack has exceptional range and is difficult to evade. Aeon can also perform it midair in a one-handed handstand on the bottom of his weapon.

Behold Absolute Power (Extended Time Freeze)

When the clock glows yellow, Aeon stabs the ground to freeze time, with everything turning color-inverted. In the air, he jumps with legs together, shouts "It's Time!", and performs a high stab before landing in a front flip.

Blades of Evil's Bane

Aeon leaps into the air for a downward stab with the clock hands aligned, the minute hand extending farther than the hour hand. Upon contact, the hands separate in opposite directions for significant damage.

Rift Betwixt Twin Blades

Aeon throws his opponent up and slashes them with twin blades like scissors. This is a throw move and cannot be blocked.

Hyper Attack: Requiem of the 13th Hour

Aeon’s Hyper requires over three seconds to initiate, leaving him briefly stationary with a clock appearing under his opponent, rendering them vulnerable. A strategic setup involves using Hour of Judgment and Behold Absolute Power to stop time, allowing Aeon to cast his Hyper uninterrupted. Once activated, Aeon snaps his fingers, shattering his opponent’s clock and freezing them indefinitely while he taunts or advises them on the insignificance of their desires compared to time. He then summons twelve clock-hand-like blades and one large minute-hand blade, saying "Time Marches On" as he releases time. The twelve smaller blades strike his opponent, followed by the final, larger blade before they hit the ground.


Other

Standard Tactics: Aeon will use attacks with his clock-blade along with the manipulation of time.

Weaknesses: Like Saint Germain, Aeon seems to be that he can only fight in areas outside of time[118].

Note

Trivia

  • The word "aeon" originates as the Latin translation of the koine Greek word ὁ αἰών (aion). It is sometimes spelt as "eon" and means "age", "forever" or "for eternity". It could also come from the Japanese word eien (永遠), meaning "eternity".
  • The Eon spelling is further supported by his clock like weapon and the fact he is seen holding a pocket watch.
  • He has a habit of using time related phrases such as "It's time!" and "Your hour is up!".
  • Dio Brando, from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, utters the phrase: "Soshite toki wa ugoki dasu," when he stops time, which translates to: "Thus, time will move once more." Aeon can be heard saying this in the trailer and in his special attack. The English localization of the game has him say: "And... time marches on." instead.
  • Aeon's theme in Judgment is "Darkness of Fear -arranged-", which as the title shows, it is an arrangement of "Darkness of Fear", the main theme of Judgment. Additionally, it becomes his battle theme when he is fought the second time in the Clock Tower arena, not the arranged version.
  • Aeon occasionally mutters, "Oh, well done." when he lost his defenses. Aeon may be saying this to the player, breaking the fourth wall.
  • Aeon has the longest Hyper Attack title.
  • Aeon's pocket watch has 13 hours on its face. The clock like weapon he uses also has 13 hours in its face. This is similar to the central clock room in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which strikes 13 before the secret passage opens.
  • Aeon belongs to the same group Saint Germain is a part of, as confirmed by Koji Igarashi. This is alluded to on Judgment through Aeon's alternate costume, which is similar to Saint Germain's[123].
  • His statement "In this place, I too am able to fight" gives him a similar weakness to Saint Germain where he cannot interact with reality but only observe it.
    • It could also refer to the fact that, as a guardian of time, he is not allowed to leave a mark on time, which would explain why he asked for aide from the other characters in the rift, and why he is otherwise unmentioned in any other Castlevania game since Judgment.
      • This is further supported by the fact that Order of Ecclesia can be connected to Judgment for extra content, and Shanoa is a character present in both. She is returned to her own time after the events of Judgment, but Aeon is never mentioned, despite Shanoa being a potential combatant of the Time Reaper, both before finding Albus and after being sent to find him by Barlowe.
  • True to his time related name his attacks consist of using his weapon in many different ways (as a gun, spear, etc.) and using time based magic attacks, he can also clone his weapon for several attacks, giving it the appearance of the hands of a clock.

  72. Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku Novel “I had said it before. I do not intend to bind the world with chaos.”
    “…… If so, why did you take power away from the crack in the eclipse’s seal? If you just intend to imitate like a monkey, isn’t your own power enough?”
    Those were the emotionless words of Death.
    In response, Olrox laughed his bold answer.
    “As I’ve said, I would equally gain control over the human world and the source of Dracula’s power, chaos. I do not intend to obey someone else’s mind aside from my own. That includes you who were born out of chaos.”
    “……”
    “You should be glad though to know yourself. Just by stealing power, my shameful monotonous time is over…… Even before Alucard appeared, just because I showed up and declared war on him.”
    Olrox’s voice was mixed with a tinge of thin delight. He respectfully bowed to Death who completely killed his emotions.
    “I would end the reincarnation cycle of this demon castle. I who understood and was spun out of the stains of chaos, swear to rob that power with my hands. Now, yield.”
    With Death’s reply, an explosive murderous intent rose.
    Two bronze colored scythes much larger than usual appeared; it advanced to the space in between the two men with an intention to cut off Olrox’s head.
    Kill the distance-----
    Kill the sound-----
    Just, faster, soon, die.
    It can be seen that the blades have certainly caught Olrox’s neck, but----- that is only an after image and the vampire is already at Death’s back.
    “……die.”
    That was said by the enemy who called on his servants.
    From the surrounding space, a group of purple bats rose, passed by Olrox’s arm with the speed of a bullet, attacking Death. However, Death did not show any gesture of avoiding them. He simply faced Olrox and sprayed out numerous scythes.
    The bats and scythes cancelled each other out and the entire dance hall sparkled with blood."

    The youth had more than 28 holes penetrating his limbs and body. His heart is already starting to fail and he is desperately trying to say something amidst the darkness.
    “Only…… protect…… you……-----“
    When he said those words he must say, the man’s soul already left his body-----becoming one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle.
    However-----
    Fate did not allow it.
    For those people who are involved with the demon castle, even the loneliness of death seemed half hearted-----
    The man’s soul is pierced by a small scythe that flew in from somewhere. That scythe did not exist physically. It was a diabolic blade created by some magic and possessed a strong soul."
